Jupiter

The chief god in the Roman pantheon, equivalent to the Greek Zeus, to whom many temples were dedicated in the Roman Empire.
At Lystra, after the healing of a cripple, a crowd acclaimed Barnabas as Jupiter (Zeus) and Paul as Mercury (Hermes); the apostles deprecated this (Acts 14: 15).

Jupiter was associated with storms and thunder, but was especially venerated as the protector of the Roman people.
